Phil is a part of our family. We met him in 2000 when the youth group he was a part of came out to help with our churches VBS. He stayed with us while they were here and we all fell in love with him. He became our "other" son. He's getting married this summer to his beautiful Monica. The wedding was supposed to be August 1st, but they just found out that the place they were having their reception has closed. Now they are trying to put something else together. One of the ideas is a 3 day Bahama cruise. The wedding and reception would be on the ship and then those not sailing would get off and the rest enjoy the cruise. Her family is not having any part of it. I have spent most of my life trying to please my mom. I'm pretty sure I haven't done it yet. My point is, at some point in our lives we need to just live life. We aren't going to please everyone and we will surely dissapoint someone. As we told Phil and Monica, it's their wedding. Are they pleased? She feels they will hold it over her head. So what? There's so much junk floating over my head I feel like the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. My goal is to please God. If he's happy with me than it's a good day.
Good advice. Although the thanksgiving parade is lovely.
